Demron

<p>Demron is a <a href="/facts/Radiation/RwMocyeq">radiation</a>-shielding <a href="/facts/Textile/PJrVeM5S">fabric</a>. For the same weight it has slightly lower <a href="/facts/Radiation_protection/5LaNNgXe">radiation protection</a> than <a href="/facts/Lead_shielding/k92HF0Km">lead shielding</a>, but is flexible. The composition of Demron is proprietary information, but it has been described as a non-toxic polyethylene and non-PVC-based polymer fused between two layers of a woven fabric.  The polymer molecule imitates the electronic traits of heavy metals, commonly employed for shielding against radiation. It has a significant electron cloud that either deflects or absorbs incoming radiation.  It is roughly three to four times more expensive than a conventional lead apron, but can be treated like a normal fabric for cleaning, storage and disposal.  More recent uses for Demron include <a href="/facts/Certified_first_responder/Nol7QGh5">certified first responder</a> <a href="/facts/Hazmat_suits/CMJfa29r">hazmat suits</a> as well as tactical vests.
